SOUND-REPROJDU'CING RECORD.

Application filed May 16, 1921. Serial No. 470,144.

To allwkommarycoacera:

Be it known that I, 'JOHN F. GULYBAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, haveinvented certainynew and useful Improvements in Sound-ReproducingRecords, of which the following is a specification.

The object of the present invention is to provide a disk record for asound reproducing or talking machine with means located centrally withinor upon its plane surfaces, whereby the words of the song or 'musicalcomposition of the record will be conveniently accessible to the user ofthe record. A further object of the invention is to utilize the centrallabel onsthe disk record to providey a shallow pouch or pocket for a'movable score card or printed folder bearing the printed words of thesong or the musical composition corresponding to the recorded matterupon the disk. In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is a face View of aportion of a disk sound reproducing record, and Fi 2 is a sectional viewthereof on line 2-2 o Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional View on line 3-3 ofFig. l. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the inner side face of the roundlabel which is adapted to be applied centrally of the disk to provide apocket or pouch therein. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a printedfolder which is adapted to ge linserted within the labeled pocket on theThe invention comprises a disk record 2 which may be constructed in anysuitable,

way according to known pra`ctices` and which is provided with a centralround opening 3 and shallow round depressions centrally on oppositesides thereof. In the disk records on the market it is customary toaflix a thin paper label in the depressions Lon one or both sides of thedisk, and these labelsbear the advertisement of the maker and also thetitle and a Ser. No. of the song or musical composition which the diskor record is adapted to reproduce when placed 'in a Sound reproducingmachine. Instead of affixing the ordinary label as commonly practiced Iutilize a round label 5 which is either embossed or folded on parallellines to provide a central rectangular offset 6 and segmental gummedborder sections 7, 8 and 9, so that this labell may be attached to thedisk within its central side depressions with the round opening 10 inthe label in register with the round opening 3 in the disk and with onlythree border sections of the label affixed.- thereto and leaving thecentral l0E- set portion 6 open at one end to receive a card or paperfolder 1l. The free eXtremity of the pocket offset portion 6 of thelabel may be round or straight at its edge and it is suflicientlyflexible to facilitate the introduction and removal of the card orfolder 11, because the label and folder are relatively very thin. Theouter face of the label will not project beyond the plane of the flatsurface of the main body of the disk record, but an end portion of cardor folder l1 extends slightly beyond the free end or flap of the labelso that it may be grasped and withdrawn by finger engagement. The cardor folder 11 is printed with the. words of the song or with the musicwhich is adapted to be reproduced from the disk, and'the exposed end ofthe card or Afolder bears the same title and Serial No.- which isprinted upon the label. Card or folder 11 is also provided with acentral opening 12 which is adapted to register with the openings 10Vand 3 when the card or folder is inserted within the pocket or pouchformed vby the label so that when the disk is in place. on the revolvingshaft or spindle of the machine and is revolving it will be impossiblefor the card or folder to become displaced by centrifugal force.

The label may be constructed and formed in other ways than as shown andI do not wish to limit myself to the specific construction described anddelineated but reserve to myself all changes and modifications which,

may fall within the scope of my invention and the terms of the claimsherein.

What I claim is: Y

l. A sound-reproducing disk record having a pocket centrally thereofprovided with a central opening and a lateral entrance. 2. Asound-reproducing disk record having a central opening and provided witha label affixed centrally at one side thereof and spaced apart from thebody of said disk, said label having anr opening in register with theopening in the disk.

3. A sound-reproducing disk record hav A ing a folded label axed to itscentral por-4 v tion adapted to receive a removable member said disk toform a pocket for printed matter.

5. A sound reproducing disk record having a shallow central depression,and a member forming a pocket for printed matter secured Within said deression and having its outer face substant1ally flush with thesurface ofthe disk. p
